Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 3 pounds red potatoes (scrubbed and cut into 1/4" slices)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine ground black pepper
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 12 ounces Colby-jack cheese (shredded (divided))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a 1-1/2 quart casserole dish (approximately 9x5x3 or similar). Set aside.
  • Scrub and cut potatoes into 1/4" slices. Place in a large bowl of cold water.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour. Whisk to combine and cook for 2 minutes to cook out the flour-y taste. Add spices and milk. Whisk to combine. Cook until mixture begins to thicken. Add 8 ounces cheese and stir to combine. Once cheese is melted and smooth, add about 1 cup to casserole dish.
  • Drain and rinse potatoes. Create a layer of potato slices on top of the cheese. Add 1 cup of cheese sauce over the top of potato slices. Repeat until all potato slices are gone or you reach 1/2" from the top of your dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top of casserole.
  • Spray aluminum foil with non stick spray and lay sprayed side down on the casserole. Bake for 75-90 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Uncover and place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
